MA790X / MA790XT-UD4P 790X bugs fixes etc etc.....

[Matas]

I want to replace my old not efficient Phenom X4 9550 with Athlon II X3 450 but don't know if it will be properly recognized on my 790X-UD4P, cause even the latest F10c BIOS only supports Athlon II X3 445 model. Should I give a try? Also planning to unlock the new Athlon II X3.

There is a code on the cpu that will tell you if its unlockable or not. The middle C in the code "CACAY" means I have a Deneb and it unlocks... no probs.. xxDxx means Propus and has no L3 cache...



The cpu support list on your mobo's site will tell you which bios version you need. gl !

this board gets better and better. Also for a unlocked 555 this is great.

Dude here's the cpu support list for that board.

I have a friend that has that same board as well and he's runing at 955be oc'd to 3.8ghz, If planning to keep the board why jump from a X3 to a X4 black edition he's about to jump from a Phenom II X4 955 to a Phenom II X6 1090T. It only makes sense to jump forward than stay even or barkward. But. I don't know the rest of your setup either memory,cooling etc and the F10C bios started with the Phenom II X4 970 and above to the Phenom II X6 1090T remember that's a AM2+ motherboard. I would get a Black Edition C3 chip if it was me

I saw that CPU support list and Athlon II X3 450 isn't included in it, though technically this board is able to support it. There is no point getting PH II BE as I can easilly unlock that Athlon II X3 and OC it to ~4GHz. Everybody knows that L3 cache isn't important.

Who is everybody lolz.. >?? With FFXIV benchmark I score 33-3500 pts with no lv3 cache and stock gpu. I'm a little vague b/c its been a while since..

FFXIV benchmark with Lv3 cache and stock 700/1150 gpu..



800/1250 gpu

10/15% performance gain is very nice indeed and shows it does matter,I bet the min was better making the bench run smoother.

20%+ with games/apps that are more cpu intensive.

Good Luck with that remember the Hybrid setting will disable the core temps in Everest...

[AmdAtiTom420]

+15% perf. for almost 100% price increase is not justified for me though there is also possibility to unlock and L3 cache.

I think you mis-understand me. I said get an Athlon II x3/4 and unlock it.

You still have the CPU temp to go by lol.. the bios and Speedfan read it.. no probs.

That is true Tom who needs the core temps away

[AmdAtiTom420]

The only downside is its not as 'real time'. And I'm surprised no one has figured a way around it by now haha..
